Bawtry - Viaduct
I am unsure as to why this stretch of line is carried on a viaduct rather than an embankment (and whether this was the case when the line was first opened by the Great Northern Railway in 1849 - see Link ). In addition, I don't know when and why the viaduct was strengthened (as evidenced by the extra layer of bricks in the arches and the concrete re-inforcement of the abutments). I suspect that the extremely marshy nature of the land to the east of the railway has caused problems ever since the line's construction.
